News: Pixar to release direct-to-DVD Cars spin-off

You read right, folks; Pixar is releasing a direct-to-video spin-off of Cars entitled Planes. Where’s your messiah now, animation fans? Pixar has, in the past, been one out of the box – a studio with mass appeal and artistic credibility. The connotations that go along with direct-to-video aren’t exactly positive ones, and while it’s silly to pre-judge the film the nature of the release certainly doesn’t bode well.
